The CrossTrek is depressingly slow, and when we looked at it the interior cubic footage was no larger than the Impreza. The mileage was worse though.

There is a hybrid version, but it has even less storage space. Wanted to like it, but we couldn’t do it.

That is because it is literally the same car as the Impreza, only lifted and with some body cladding.

And fine-looking cladding indeed! We ended up getting a used Impreza that had the older rounded body style.
